The Palm Springs Writers Guild offers several types of contests throughout the program season. Most contest winners will receive a prize of some denomination. The stories may be read aloud at a Membership meeting. The contests are an opportunity for writers to practice the criteria and structure for submitting an entry, including deadlines, word count, font size and story structure. For experienced writers, this may also be an opportunity for creative challenge by writing outside of his/her genre.

In May, we celebrate the winners of the Annual Writing Contest with a fun event featuring professional readers and some great refreshments!
